Definitions

  • the disclosed embodiments which are in the field of metrology, relate to weights that are used to check balances and to check or measure other weights.
  • check weights with defined nominal values.
  • norm standards for example the internationally recognized recommendation R111 published by OIML (Organisation Internationale de Mozologie L Paine)
  • these kinds of check weights are subject to tolerance limits within which the actual weight values have to lie in relation to the nominal weight value.
  • the weights are divided into different weight classes according to different precision requirements. For example, the tolerance limit for a one-milligram weight in class E 1 (the highest accuracy class) is ⁇ 0.003 mg, while the tolerance limit in class M 1 (the lowest accuracy class applicable to a one-milligram weight) is ⁇ 0.2 mg.
  • Check weights should be understood to include weights of all kinds that are used to check and/or calibrate and/or certify balances or weights particularly in areas that are subject to regulatory control. These check weights are occasionally also called verification weights or calibration weights.
  • Check weights can be made of one solid piece or of several pieces of material. Single-piece check weights are made of one block of material, while check weights composed of more pieces have a cavity on the inside which is filled with so-called adjustment material up to the point where the nominal weight has been attained, whereupon the cavity is closed off. It should be noted, however, that check weights made up of a plurality of pieces are not permitted in the highest accuracy classes according to OIML.
  • check weights themselves are regularly checked against other check weights, so-called verification standards. The time intervals for such verification checks are dependent on the respective accuracy class of the weights or on the area of application and the particular circumstances of the application.
  • a certificate is issued on request, which states the actual weight value at the specific time, the nominal weight value, the accuracy class relative to a given class limit, as well as a calibration I.D. number and the number of the calibration certificate.
  • a so-called recalibration is performed at a later date, a new certificate is issued in which a new certificate number is assigned to the same weight, but the same calibration I.D. number remains assigned to the weight.
  • the check weights or sets of check weights with different weight values are stored in special weight container cases for the distribution and later, at their place of application, for storage by the user.
  • a container case there are appropriately dimensioned seating recesses provided for each weight denomination, so that for example a 100-gram weight can be set with a precise fit only into the recess for 100-gram weights, but not into a recess for a 50-gram weight, while it would not completely fill out the recess for a 200-gram weight, so that a correlation between weights and recesses is possible based on size.
  • the certificates of the individual weight pieces are placed into these container cases so that in principle the connection between certificate and check weight is established. This is normally made evident by means of a label that is affixed to the container case, on which the calibration I.D. number is printed, and a further label on which the certificate number is printed.
  • This method has the problem that there is no definite correlation that ties the certificate to the check weight, i.e. to the physical weight piece itself.
  • the handling of such check weights therefore requires the utmost diligence in order to ensure that the correct match between certificate and calibrated weight piece is permanently preserved. Still, there is no guarantee of achieving this goal. Inadvertent mix-ups cannot be ruled out, nor can they be reliably detected after the fact.
  • German laid-open application DE 40 06 375 A1 the concept of equipping check weights with a code marking that represents the weight value is disclosed.
  • This is realized by electronically storing the weight value in an electronic circuit which is contained in the weight piece itself.
  • This has the disadvantage that electrical contacts are necessary for the transmission of the data from the weight piece to the balance and vice versa and that because of these contacts, the weight has to be set in a defined position and, in particular, special devices are required which make the manufacture and use an error-prone process.
  • an electronic data storage is not totally error-resistant, so that data errors due to inappropriate handling of the check weights or also due to material fatigue, and thus calibration errors which occur as a result, cannot be completely ruled out in this case either.
  • check weights of this kind are expensive to produce.
  • this coding system does not provide an individual identification of each weight piece, but only a classification according to weight value.
  • an individual weight piece can be traced back only insofar as the highest possible number of weight checks that can be performed is entered in the electronic data storage device of the weight and each weight check is counted until this upper limit is reached. Traceability beyond this time frame or in regard to other attributes such as place and date of manufacture, production lot number, etc., is impossible. A recall campaign which could be necessary for example in case of a manufacturing error in a production lot is therefore not possible for check weights that are identified in this way.
  • check weight itself carries an identification, specifically a marking by way of a machine-readable identification code on the outside of the weight, whereby each weight piece is made individually recognizable.
  • This concept has the advantage that the check weights can be permanently and reliably matched to their certificates and that all data can be read and processed by a machine and also be centrally stored if required. Mix-ups in the handling of the weights can thus to a large extent be either avoided or reliably detected after they have occurred. Furthermore, for example if check weights that have been graded as OIML Class E weights are found to be out of tolerance, such weights can be reassigned to a lower accuracy class without any problem.
  • Check weights are made of a metal or a metal alloy of an invariant material density that is prescribed by the applicable norm standards.
  • identification code in a binary form of representation, in particular as a data matrix code or as a miniaturized barcode.
  • the identification code includes a weight number that is uniquely assigned to the weight piece.
  • the identification code contains further data about the respective weight piece, including for example the production lot number and specific dates, in particular the production date, the date when the marking was applied and/or the date of the original calibration.
  • a further objective is to provide a method through which check weights of the foregoing description can be traced back in time. This is achieved by:
  • the identification code contains essentially a weight number that is uniquely assigned to the check weight. However, it is also conceivable to set up the identification code in any other way that may be desired. The only essential requirement is that the identification code thus established has to be suitable for conversion into the intended machine-readable code that is to be put as a marking on the weight piece. This process can be carried out immediately following the production of the check weights or also at a later point in time. Including the marking within the scope of the production process has the advantage that every single weight piece is identifiable and thus traceable already at the completion of the production process. Applying the marking at a later time on the other hand has the advantage that check weights that are already in use, in particular if the correlation with their respective certificate has been lost, can afterwards be given an identification which makes them traceable again.
  • the marking process is performed with a laser.
  • Known laser marking processes can produce an identification code pattern by means of a matte finish or through the method of the so-called annealing colors.
  • inscribing methods that are well suited for the application of a marking include for example pin marking, etching, or electron beam scribing. But further methods, other than those mentioned here, are likewise conceivable.
  • the respective identification code is permanently stored in a database. This creates the advantageous possibility to systematically process and administrate the registered identification codes and the data of the weight pieces marked with them. It is advantageous to also register and store the certificate data in the database together with the identification code. Thus, the certificate data for individual single check weights can automatically be kept available and sent out on request in a simple and reliable manner.
  • a certificate When a certificate is made out for a control weight, it contains a unique reference to the identification code. Particularly if the identification code includes a weight number that is uniquely assigned to the weight, the weight number is also stated on the certificate.
  • a checking-, calibrating- or recalibrating procedure can also include a comparison of a further check weight against a first check weight, in particular against a verification standard, it is advantageous if the identification code of the first check weight, specifically of the verification standard, is likewise recorded in the database, and it may also be stated on the certificate. In this way, a high degree of traceability can be achieved.
  • the certificate data further include the calibration I.D. number, the certificate number, the issue date of the certificate, the shape and material of the check weight, the identity of the person performing the weight check, the conditions under which the weighing took place, the environmental conditions such as temperature and barometric pressure, the current weight value, as well as statistical data concerning the weight check.
  • the weight pieces are recalibrated from time to time, it is a preferred practice to establish a history file for the specific weight based on the chronological sequence of certificate data.
  • the history file measured and/or stored data can be compared to those of a preceding certificate, the results can be processed further and, if desired, the results can be used to predict the extent to which the weights remain usable in the future.
  • a program can be executed in the processor of the balance whereby the identity of the check weight is investigated and validated before the weighing test is started.
  • a further objective is to provide a system whereby check weights can be traced individually on a permanent basis.
  • the described embodiments have the advantage that all of the individually marked weight pieces can be systematically administrated and kept in particular under a centralized control, and that all of the data belonging to a given individual weight piece can be accessed at any time.
  • the one or more processors can convert the marking code back into the underlying identification code and directly make use of the latter.
  • the at least one memory unit serves to save the identification code and, advantageously, also further registered data (including for example the certificate data) belonging to the respective weight piece in a permanent and retrievable kind of storage. Such data are ideally kept available in a database which provides a centralized access and rapid systematic processing capability.
  • the at least one processor is equipped with the capability to send out reports based on the results and/or extrapolations generated, such as for example a notice regarding the expiration of a verification time interval.
  • FIG. 1 depicts an example of a check weight in side view
  • FIG. 2 depicts a top view of the FIG. 1 check weight, wherein the machine-readable identification code in the form of a marking is indicated schematically;
  • FIG. 3 shows a magnified image of a matrix-type marking that is put on a weight
  • FIG. 4 schematically depicts a system for the traceability of a check weight
  • FIG. 5 is a flowchart diagram showing the time sequence of a routine test.
  • FIG. 1 shows an example of a check weight 1 .
  • the proportions of such check weights 1 can vary, or the weights 1 can have a completely different shape depending in particular on the nominal weight value.
  • the weights with the smallest nominal values are normally configured as so-called wire weights or sheet metal weights.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a check weight 1 of the same type as in FIG. 1 , with a marking in the form of a matrix code 2 that contains an identification code.
  • the shape and size of the matrix code 2 are not true to scale. Depending on the kind of marking being used, the shape and size of the marking can vary. However, in the case of the more accurate weight classes E and F, the maximum size is prescribed by the norm standard. The way in which the marking is arranged on the weight piece can likewise vary. Advantageously, the marking is placed on top in order to be easily readable. However, it is just as conceivable to put the marking at some other location such as laterally or on the underside.
  • FIG. 3 shows an example for the design of such a marking 2 in the form of a matrix.
  • the illustrated matrix 2 is a twelve-by-twelve array of matrix cells 3 , 3 ′, wherein the two binary values are represented in this case, respectively, by black matrix cells 3 and white matrix cells 3 ′.
  • the border rows of cells 4 and 4 ′ meeting at one corner of the matrix and the border rows 5 and 5 ′ meeting at the opposite corner each form a pattern which allows the reader device to find the matrix code and to read and interpret it in the correct orientation.
  • the border rows of cells with uniform binary values (black) running in the directions of the arrows 4 , 4 ′ represent the so-called finder pattern
  • the two border rows of cells with alternating values running in the directions of the arrows 5 , 5 ′ along the respectively opposite borders of the matrix represent the so-called orientation pattern.
  • the finder pattern 4 , 4 ′ is used to find the matrix code on the weight, while the orientation pattern 5 , 5 ′ along the respectively opposite borders serves for the correct orientation in the reading and evaluating of the code.
  • the cells enclosed by the two border patterns 4 , 4 ′ and 5 , 5 ′ represent the actual identification code.
  • the representation of the binary light and dark bits can be realized in the manufacturing process for example by applying a matte finish to an originally polished surface for the matrix cells 3 shown in black in the drawing.
  • Other techniques of producing binary representations can also be used.
  • One example are indentations produced for example through the pin-marking process, or a color change achieved by surface annealing with a laser, or alternatively by etching.
  • FIG. 4 represents a schematic overview of a system to establish the traceability of a check weight 1 as described herein.
  • the reader device 6 which is equipped with processor 10 reads the marking on the weight, in this case the matrix code 2 .
  • the processor 10 converts the matrix code into an identification code and transmits the latter to a computer 7 which is likewise equipped with one or more processors.
  • the computer 7 is connected to a database 8 which contains all of the data needed to issue a certificate 9 . Based on the identification code, the computer 7 is now enabled to retrieve the required data from the database 8 and to issue a certificate 9 .
  • the inscribing device (not shown here) which generates the marking, i.e. the matrix code 2 , and which includes for example a laser, is equipped with appropriate software modules.
  • the database 8 has the capability to accept further data associated with the stored identification code, in particular data that are required for the certification, but also data that are generated only at later time, for example in connection with recalibrations of the check weight.
  • data can be transmitted from the processor 11 of the computer 7 to other processors and/or computers (not shown in the drawing) or received by the latter.
  • processors can be in direct connection with the processor 11 , or they can also be part of an intranet or be accessible through the internet.
  • Such computers can be installed for example at the customer's location or at other accredited metrological laboratories to which the certificate data can be transmitted.
  • the identification code acquired by the reader device 6 can be transmitted directly, i.e. without intermediate storage in the database 8 , to a processor at a remote location (not illustrated).
  • a further data connection for example to a balance on which calibration checks are performed (not shown), allows data from this checking balance, for example weighing result data, to be transmitted to the processor 11 of the computer 7 , or data from the computer 7 , for example certificate data, to be transmitted to the checking balance.
  • data from this checking balance for example weighing result data
  • data from the computer 7 for example certificate data
  • the flowchart diagram in FIG. 5 shows the time sequence of a routine test for the checking of a balance with a weight piece 1 that is marked as described herein.
  • the machine-readable identification code on the weight piece 1 for example in the form of a matrix code 2 as shown in FIG. 2 , is used here for the purpose of verification and validation. For example, it is possible to ascertain whether the specific weight piece 1 matches the weight piece described in the checking procedures, which could be internally generated or externally mandated procedures.
  • a program which is executed in the processor of the balance controls the process of the weighing check and instructs the user accordingly.
  • the weight piece 1 is presented to a reader device 6 which reads the matrix code 2 and compares the corresponding identification code to the data which are stored in the computer 7 for the weighing check.
  • the computer 7 can be a computer set up separately from the balance, or it can be incorporated in the balance where it can be constituted essentially by the processor of the balance. If the identification code matches the code data of a permissible, i.e. registered, weight piece 1 , the weight-checking process is allowed to proceed and the routine test can be continued. If no match is found for the identification code, the weight-checking process is aborted and a failure message is issued.
  • a record of the outcome can be produced by a printer that is connected to the balance and/or to the computer 7 . It is also conceivable that a corresponding entry is made in the database 8 that is connected to the computer 7 .
